Target "MIDI: Send message"

Sends arbitrary MIDI messages (also sys-ex!) in response to incoming messages. This target turns ReaLearn into a capable and convenient MIDI/OSC/Keyboard-to-MIDI converter.

Output menu

Where to send the MIDI message.

FX output

Sends the MIDI message to the output of this ReaLearn instance - which usually means it flows into the FX below ReaLearn, e.g. a VST instrument.

Feedback output

Sends the MIDI message to the device which is set as output.

Input device

Injects the MIDI message into the current MIDI input device buffer. Enables a unique feature called "Global MIDI transformation", as shown in tutorial video 11.

Device menu

When choosing output Input device, you can choose into which MIDI input device buffer the message will be injected.

<Same as input device>

Injects the message into the same buffer of the MIDI input device chosen as Input menu.

Specific input device

Injects the message into another specific MIDI input device. This can be useful for doing global MIDI transformation with controllers that expose multiple MIDI input ports. A practical example is shown in tutorial video 11.

Pattern field

Defines the MIDI message to be sent as Raw MIDI pattern. It allows you to encode the incoming absolute control value as part of the message (after it has been processed by Glue).

Pre-defined patterns menu (…​)

Provides predefined patterns.

This is a target capable of real-time control!

This target is a bit special in that it carries out its processing logic exclusively in the audio thread if it’s controlled by a MIDI source. This has the big advantage that receiving and producing MIDI messages happens in one go (without inter-thread-communication latency), which is often important when using MIDI message conversion.

However, this also means that the following things won’t work when controlling this target using MIDI:
